Luis had been arrested arrested for drug possession by the Grand Prairie, TX Police Department and was transported to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas for reasons unreported.

Just after midnight on Thursday, February 24th 2017 a Grand Prairie, TX police officer had arrived at the hospital to pick up Luis. Using a wheelchair the officer carted the shackled and handcuffed prisoner was taken outside and placed into a marked police SUV. While the unnamed officer was returning the wheelchair to the hospital Luis somehow managed to work his way from the back of the police SUV into the driver's seat and take off. Other Grand Prairie as well as two Dallas police officers, who happened to be at Parkland Memorial at the time of the incident, saw Luis driving off and pursued him for half an hour and 30 miles before the handcuffed escapee crashed the SUV into a grass embankment beneath the freeway near Haltom City, Texas.

Although the SUV was damaged there were no other injuries... unless you want to count Luis' booking slip, as when he was booked into the Grand Prairie jail it was not just for drug possession... Luis earned himself a slew of new charges including stealing a police car and evading arrest, in addition to his original narcotics charges.
